Clock startup wakes up Kickstarter backers, raises $250K in 24 hours
Time is on Jamie Kripke’s side.
In less than 24 hours after launching a Kickstarter campaign, the Boulder resident and co-founder’s new minimalist clock raised nearly $250,000 smashing its original $20,000 goal.
“If anything it validates the idea that we had for something that was simple,” Kripke said. “But we didn’t know what to expect because there’s not a lot out there to compare it to, so it felt like a bit of a risk in a way.”
OneClock was designed to replace disrupting alarms and gently lift someone out of sleep with science-based music compositions by Grammy-award winning musician Jon Natchez, who is also a member of The War on Drugs rock band.
